XOXO Decorated Candles for Valentine’s Day

XOXO decorated Valentine’s Day candles are SO easy to make! Use them to set a romantic mood for Valentine’s Day or give them as a gift to your favorite Valentine.

This week I’m participating in my first giveaway…which, I must admit, is a little overwhelming for a new (extremely computer-illiterate) blogger like myself! I am doing my best to figure it out as I go, and I’m relying on lots of help from friends. But after a few days of feeling incompetent, I’m ready for something that’s a little more up my alley! So…as promised…I’ve come up with a week’s worth of Sweet Kindle Fire-themed ideas.

My first fire themed idea is to make these Valentine’s Day candles! (Get it? Fire?…. Candles?) The truth is that themed posts are good for me. They keep me focused instead of letting my mind run wild (I’ve been known to spend hours wandering the aisles at Michael’s, only to return home with a million new ideas but only half the supplies I would actually need to finish a project!)

I guess you could say I’m easily overwhelmed……

….which is why I love simple crafts like Valentine’s Day candles decorated with x’s and o’s. Candles. Letters. Twine. Done.

XOXO (Hugs and Kisses) Valentine’s Day Candles

I actually came up with this idea on one of my long trips to Michael’s, as I combed through the 80% off Christmas clearance. These red glittery letters were in a bin with other reject letters like V and K…. apparently not so useful for Christmas, but perfect for Valentine’s Day!

The candles seemed like an obviously romantic Valentine’s Day choice, too…and twine is always one of my favorites. I love its rustic quality, particularly as a complement to the glittery letters. Together, they’re a good balance. Kinda like X’s and O’s.

Yes, he’s pretty spaicel! This link is actually to my new blog: life in Northern Colorado. Like you, I couldn’t contain my blogging to just one platform! Let me know what you think! Love and hugs, dear friend. Cathy

I love your candles! Simple, yet classy. I do the same thing when I go to Michael’s. So many ideas swirling around in my head, that I have trouble getting everything for one thing. I am your newest follower and love your blog!

I found you from the Strut Your Stuff link up. What cute candles! I love how simple they are to make and their perfect for Valentine’s. I just started a new Saturday Spotlight Linky Party on my blog this week, and would love to have you stop by and share!
